182. Tips on Using Included Accessories
Effective Battery and Charger Use
• Charge the battery on (or immediately before) the day of
use
Charged batteries gradually lose their charge, even when
they are not used.
You can easily check the charge state of the battery by
attaching the cover so that o is visible on a charged battery,
and attaching it so that o is not visible on an uncharged
battery.
• Long-term battery storage
After using up all remaining battery power, remove the battery from the camera.
Store the battery with the cover attached. Storing a partially charged battery over
extended periods (about a year) may shorten its life or affect performance.
• Using the battery charger abroad
The charger can be used in areas with 100 – 240 V AC power (50/60 Hz). For
power outlets in a different format, use a commercially available adapter for the
PY
plug. Never use an electrical transformer designed for traveling, which may
damage the battery.

Using an Eye-Fi Card
Before using an Eye-Fi card, always confirm that local use is permitted (p. 3).
Inserting a prepared Eye-Fi card enables automatic wireless transfer of
images to a computer or uploading to a photo-sharing website.
Images are transferred by the Eye-Fi card. Refer to the card’s user manual or
contact the manufacturer for instructions on preparing and using cards or
resolving transfer problems.
• When using an Eye-Fi card, keep the following points in mind.
• Cards may continue to transmit radio waves even when [Eye-Fi
trans.] is set to [Disable] (p. 213). Remove the Eye-Fi card before
entering hospitals, aircraft, or other areas where transmission is
prohibited.
• When troubleshooting image transfer issues, check the card and
computer settings. For details, refer to the card’s user manual.
• Poor wireless connections may cause image transfer to take a long
PY
time, and transfer may be interrupted in some cases.
• Eye-Fi cards may become hot, due to their transfer functions.
O
• Battery power will be consumed faster than in normal use.
• Camera operation may become sluggish. To resolve this, try setting
C
[Eye-Fi trans.] to [Disable].
Connection status of Eye-Fi cards in the camera can be checked on the
shooting screen (in regular information display mode) or playback screen (in
simple information display mode).

216. Troubleshooting
If you think there is a problem with the camera, first check the following. If the
items below do not solve your problem, contact a Canon Customer Support
Help Desk.
Power
Nothing happens when the power button is pressed.
• Confirm that you are using the correct type of battery, and that there is sufficient charge
(p. 223).
• Confirm that the battery is inserted facing the correct way (p. 15).
• Confirm that the memory card/battery cover is fully closed (p. 16).
• Dirty battery terminals reduce battery performance. Try cleaning the terminals with a
cotton swab and reinserting the battery a few times.
The battery is depleted quickly.
• Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Try warming the battery a little by
putting it in your pocket, for example, with the terminal cover on.
• If these measures do not help and the battery is still depleted soon after charging, it has
reached the end of its life. Purchase a new battery.
The lens is not retracted.
PY
• Do not open the memory card/battery cover while the camera is on. Close the cover,
turn the camera on, and then turn it off again (p. 16).
The battery is swollen.
O
• Battery swelling is normal and does not pose any safety concerns. However, if battery
C
swelling prevents the battery from fitting in the camera, contact a Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.
Display on a TV
Camera images look distorted or not displayed on a TV (p. 187).
Shooting
Cannot shoot.
• In Playback mode (p. 20), press the shutter button halfway (p. 37).
Nothing is displayed (p. 46).

is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway (p. 46).
• Set [IS mode] to [Continuous] (p. 120).
• Raise the flash and set the flash mode to h (p. 116).
• Increase the ISO speed (p. 95).
• Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. In this case, set [IS
Mode] to [Off] (p. 120).
Shots are out of focus.
• Press the shutter button halfway to focus on subjects before pressing it all the way down
to shoot (p. 37).
• Make sure subjects are within focusing range (see “Specifications” in the Getting
Started guide).
• Set [AF-assist Beam] to [On] (p. 65).
• Confirm that unneeded functions such as macro are deactivated.
• Try shooting with focus lock or AF lock (pp. 109, 114).
No AF frames are displayed and the camera does not focus when the shutter
button is pressed halfway.
PY
• To have AF frames displayed and the camera focus correctly, try composing the shot
with higher-contrast subject areas centered before you press the shutter button
halfway. Otherwise, try pressing the shutter button halfway repeatedly.
O
Subjects in shots look too dark.
Raise the flash and set the flash mode to h (p. 116).
C

217

218. Troubleshooting
Shots look grainy.
• Lower the ISO speed (p. 95).
• High ISO speeds in some shooting modes may cause grainy images (p. 70).
Subjects are affected by red-eye (p. 58).
• Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 65) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp (p. 4) in flash
shots. For best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try
increasing the lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
• Edit images using red-eye correction (p. 164).
Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting is
slower.
• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (p. 172).

236. Handling Precautions
• The camera is a high-precision electronic device. Avoid dropping it or
subjecting it to strong impact.
• Never bring the camera near magnets, motors, or other devices that
generate strong electromagnetic fields, which may cause malfunction or
erase image data.
• If water droplets or dirt adheres to the camera or screen, wipe with a dry
soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cloth. Do not rub hard or apply force.
• Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to clean the camera or
screen.
• Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens. If cleaning is difficult,
contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• To prevent condensation from forming on the camera after sudden
temperature changes (when the camera is transferred from cold to warm
environments), put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and let
it gradually adjust to the temperature before removing it from the bag.
• If condensation does form on the camera, stop using it immediately.
PY
Continuing to use the camera in this state may damage it. Remove the
battery and memory card, and wait until the moisture has evaporated
before resuming use.
